Program

Friday
The Opening of Constellation – “Excalibur”
Time: 9:00 pm
Place: Main Stage		Opening Ceremony:
As is tradition, everyone is invited to the opening ceremony, starting on Friday at 9pm. Teams will be given an opportunity to introduce their chosen Epics in whichever format they choose. Those who are not part of a team but still wish to help us open the festival are welcome to reach out.

Please, stay under 5 minutes in length.
Participation is not mandatory, but very desirable. Whoever wants to and can – let’s do it!
Amongst the Spoils of Victory and Peaceful Campfires
Time: 11:00 pm
Place: At Campsites		To properly immerse ourselves in the medieval, there will be an opportunity to listen and perform ballads around campfires. Let's fill our bellies with warm wine and good drink, and tell each other tales of old.
Saturday
The Tournament
The Tournament will be a four part event that allows teams to participate in a series of activities to present their Epics to the rest of the festival.
The Quiz
Time: 12:00 pm
Place: Under the Canopy		The Quiz will consist of each team preparing 5 questions relating to their Tales. These questions should be detailed, allowing the other teams a chance to figure out the answer without necessarily knowing the specifics. We recommend avoiding basic trivia, and focus more on the deeper lore, as this is a chance for each team to present some interesting aspects of their chosen epic. Teams will submit their questions in advance, along with the answers. If teams need help, they can reach out for assistance.
For those who wish to play but are not part of a participating team may form their own groups and play along!
“The Round Table”
Time: 1:00 pm
Place: In the C field		The Round Table is an opportunity for teams to show off the national dishes of their chosen epics. Each team will be assigned a pop up canopy, from which they will be able to serve their cultural delicacies. We also see this as an opportunity for teams to show off costumes that relate to those cultures, another way for others to immerse themselves into the setting of your epic.
Ballads
Time: 2:00 pm
Place: In the C field
Amphitheater		The Ballads is an opportunity to perform a rendition of your hero's journey in our amphitheater. Teams will have five minutes to present, and there are no limits to the format of their presentation. Teams can entertain the masses with monologues, poetry, songs, or theater, using whatever format to regale the audience with their epic tales. The throwing of tomatoes is strictly prohibited!
Physical Challenge
Time: 3:00 pm
Place: In the C field
Amphitheater		The Physical challenge is not a team event, and will allow anyone who wishes to join in the fun! We will have a series of games to participate in to see if there are those amongst us that can truly call themselves mighty heroes! For those training to be squires, there will also be a series of activities and challenges.
Evening Program
Time: 6:30 pm
Place: Main Stage		The main event, consisting of traditional plays and short films.

Short Films

Take an existing piece of visual media, movie or TV, and re-tell/parody it in the style of a medieval legend. For example:

  • Оcean’s 11: A band of thieves plot to steal the egg of a well-known and ruthless King.

  • The Irony of Fate: A noble Knight falls victim to a curse and ends up at the wrong castle.

While it is not required to be a part of your daytime Mythos of choice, it would be a nice addition.

The Play

Tell a Ballad, detailing the adventure of a hero who defeats the villain and saves the day!
The twist – one of your characters must break the 4th wall. The script for the play must be original, everything else is up to your discretion.
Till the Morning!
Time: After the evening shows
Place: At the campsites
Relax and have fun!
